I posted an image of the Antennae a while back, but I took a new set of data with the loaner ST-10XME camera a few nights ago. THe resolution of this version is a little better than the resolution with the earlier image, taken with the less-sensitive ST-10XE (no microlenses).

ST-10XME on C14, Paramount ME. Four 15-minute luminance images; I reused color from the earlier image. Lucy-Richardson deconvolution to sharpen up details.

hi,

Very nice.. turned on its side it looks like a celestial heart (sort of). Don't know if you reached the limits of resolution and detail yet, but it seems you are close ( and a lot closer than me.)


clear skies,
